20480. Senate Report No. 605. LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE. February 4, 1875. 11p. Report looks at the administration of the Light-House Establishment and the present state of their technology and operating practices, and proposes various changes. Such changes include modifications in the make-up of the Light-House Board, confining the executive duties to two persons, reducing the number of inspectors in each district, placing the operation of buoys, etc under the Revenue marine, and much more. It would seem that many of these recommendations were never approved but the report provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Light-House establishment. $32.
